Monday Poetry Stretch - Mask Poems

Last week we wrote poems to people or things, so this week I thought it would be fun to write as someone or something else. Mask (or persona) are poems in which the subject is the speaker.

Kristine O'Connell George has written a wonderful book entitled Old Elm Speaks: Tree Poems, in which her poems take on many different voices, including an oak tree, a willow, a tree with a secret, and many others. She even has a page of writing prompts to accompany the book.

Here's your chance to be someone or something else. What or who will you be? Leave me a comment about your poem and I'll share them later this week.
